Unit 3 shakespeare sonnet

Sonnet 18
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer's lease hath all too short a date: Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimmed, And every fair from fair sometime declines, By chance, or nature's changing course untrimmed: But thy eternal summer shall not fade, Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st, Nor shall death brag thou wander'st in his shade, When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st, So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Contributions
Spenserian Sonnet(斯宾塞十四行诗):
The Spenserian Sonnet is based on a fusion of elements of both the Petrarchan sonnet and the Shakespearean sonnet. It is similar to the Shakespearan sonnet in the sense that its set up is based more on the 3 quatrains and a couplet; however it is more like the Petrarchan tradition in the fact that the conclusion follows from the argument or issue set up in the earlier quatrains. rhyme sheme: abab bcbc cdcd ee

英美文学选读美国3.The Modern Period

●The Modern Period1. After the First World War, all kinds of literary trends of Modernism including stream of consciousness appeared. What is stream of consciousness?In Joyce's opinion, the artist, who wants to reach the highest stage and to gain the insights necessary for the creation of dramatic art, should rise to the position of a god-like objectivity; he should have the complete conscious control over the creative process and depersonalize his own emotion in the artistic creation. He should appear as an omniscient author and present unspoken materials directly from the psyche of the characters, or make the characters tell their own inner thoughts in monologues. This literary approach to the presentation of psychological aspects of characters is usually termed as "stream of consciousness”.2. How did “The Lost Generation" come into existence in the literary history of the United States? What does the term “The Lost Generation" mean? Who were the leading figures of this literary movement? (Give at least two)When the First World War broke out, many American young men volunteered to take part in "the war to end wars" only to find that modern warfare was not as glorious or heroic as they thought it to be. Disillusioned and disgusted by the frivolous, greedy, and heedless way of life in America, they began to write and they wrote from their own experiences in the war. Among these young writers were the most prominent figures in American literature, especially in modern American literature. They were basically expatriates who left America and formed a community of writers and artists in Paris, involved with other European novelists and poets in their experimentation on new modes of though and expression. These writers were named by an American writer, Gertrude Stein, “The Lost Generation". Among the greatest figures in "The Lost Generation" are Ezra Pound, William Carlos Williams, Robert Frost, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, and William Faulkner.◆Robert Lee Frost(The Road Not Taken//Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening)1. Frost's poem are mostly concerned with his contemplation on nature and the relationship between nature and man. What is the characteristic of Robert Frost's poetry?By using simple spoken language and conversational rhythms, Frost achieve an effortless grace in his style. He combined traditional verse forms---the sonnet, rhyming couplets, blank verse----with a clear American local speech rhythm, the speech of New England farmers with its idiosyncratic diction and syntax. In verse form he was assorted; he wrote in both the metrical forms and the free verse, and sometimes he wrote in a form that borrows freely from the merits of both, in a form that might be called semi-free or semi-conventional. 2. Comment briefly on Robert Frost’snature poetry.A. Unlike his contemporaries in the early20th century, Robert Frost did not break upwith the poetic tradition nor made anyexperiment on form. Instead, he learnedfrom the tradition, especially the familiarconventions of nature poetry and ofclassical pastoral poetry, and made thecolloquial New England speech into apoetic expression.B. Many of his poems are fragrant withnatural quality. Images and metaphors inhis poems are drawn from the simplecountry life and the pastoral landscape thatcan be easily understood. But it would be amistake to imagine that Frost is easy tounderstand because it is easy to read.C. Profound ideas are delivered under thedisguise of the plain language and thesimple form, for what Frost did is to takesymbols from the limited human world andthe pastoral landscape to refer to the greatworld beyond the rustic scene.D. These thematic concerns include theterror and tragedy in nature, as well as itsbeauty, and the loneliness and poverty ofthe isolated human being. But first andforemost Frost is concerned with his love oflife and his belief in a serenity that onlycame from working usefully, while hepracticed himself throughout his life.◆F. Scott Fitzgerald(The Great Gatsby)1. The Great Gatsby, a masterpiece inAmerican literature, evokes a hauntingmood of a glamorous, wild time thatseemingly will never come again. Basedon the novel, discuss the characteristicsof Fitzgerald's works.A. Fitzgerald fictional world is the bestembodiment of the spirit of the Jazz Age, inwhich he shows a particular interest in theupper class society, especially the upperclass young people.B. Fitzgerald never spared an intimatetouch in his fiction to deal with thebankruptcy of the American Dream.C. Fitzgerald is a great stylist in Americanliterature. His style, closely related to histhemes, is explicit and chilly. His accuratedialogues, his careful observation ofmannerism, styles, models and attitudesprovide the reader with a vivid sense ofreality.D. He follows the Jamesian tradition inusing the scenic method in his chapters,each one of which consists of one or moredramatic scenes, sometimes withintervening passages of narration, leavingthe tedious process of transition to thereaders' imagination.2. F. Scott Fitzgerald is a great stylist inAmerican literature. What is his art ofnovels?A. His style, closely related to his themes,is explicit and chilly.B. His accurate dialogues, his carefulobservation of mannerism, styles, modelsand attitudes provide the reader with a vividsense of reality.C. He also skillfully employs the device ofhaving events observed by a "centralconsciousness" to his great advantage.D. In his words, there are plenty of accuratedetails, the completely original diction andmetaphors, the bold impressionistic andcolorful quality.3. Briefly discuss The Great Gatsby.The Great Gatsby, a novel written by F.Scott Fitzgerald, is one of the greatestnovels in American literature. It fullyexplores the disillusionment and despair ofthe Lost Generation through the personaltragedy of a young man whose"incorruptible dream" is easily smashedinto pieces by the crude reality. Theprotagonist, Gatsby, is a mythical figurewhose intensity of dream partakes of a stateof mind that embodies American itself. Hisfailure magnifies the end of the Americandream. The style of the story is explicit andchilly. Fitzgerald's accurate dialogues, hiscareful observation of mannerism and thecolorful images provide the reader with avivid and profound scene of the reality.4. The Great Gatsby is an examination ofAmerican myth in the 20th century.Fitzgerald deliberately depicts Gatsby asa mysterious person so as to achieve theeffect that Gatsby is American Everyman.Please make a brief comment on TheGreat Gatsby.The Great Gatsby is a masterpiece inAmerican literature. It evokes a hauntingmood of a glamorous, wild time thatseemingly will never come again. Besides,the loss of an ideal and the disillusionmentthat comes with the failure are exploitedfully in the personal tragedy of a youngman whose "incorruptible dream" is“smashed into pi eces by the relentlessreality". Gatsby is a mythical figure whoseintensity of dream partakes of a state ofmind that embodies America itself; Gatsbyis the last of the romantic hero, whoseenergy and sense of commitment takes himin search of his personal grail; Gatsby’sfailure magnifies to a great extent the endof the American Dream. However, theaffirmation of hope and expectation isself-asserted in Fitzgerald's artisticmanipulation of the central symbol in thenovel, the green light.◆Ernest Hemingway(In Our Time//The Sun Also Rise//AFarewell to Arms//Men Without Woman)1. What is “Hemingway Code Heroes"?Hemingway's world is limited. He dealswith a limited range of characters in quitesimilar circumstances and measures themagainst an unvarying code, known as “graceunder pressure”, which is actually anattitude towards life that Hemingway hadbeen trying to demonstrate is his works.Those who survive in the process ofseeking to master the code with the honesty,the discipline, and the restraint areHemingway Code Heroes2. Ernest Hemingway, a winner of NobelPrize on Literature, is one of the greatestAmerican writers. Discuss Hemingway'sart of fiction: his style, the particulartype of hero in his novels, and his lifeattitudes, etc.A. Typical of the "iceberg" analogy isHemingway's style.B. "Grace under pressure is actually anattitude towards life that Hemingway hadbeen trying to demonstrate in his works. Inhis works, he depicts characters as braveand unyielded heroes.C. Human speech is full of accents andmannerisms and the use of short, simpleand conventional words and sentences hasan effect of clearness, terseness and greatcare.3. How do you understand Hemingway'sIceberg Principle according to hisworks?A. He deals with a limited range ofcharacters in quite similar circumstancesand measures them against an unvaryingcode, known as “grace under pressure .B. The characters he depicted, with thehonesty, the discipline and the restraint,survive in the process of seeking to masterthe code.C. According to Hemingway, good literarywriting should be able to make readers feelthe emotion of the characters directly andthe best way to produce the effect is to setdown exactly every particular kind offeeling without any authorial comments,without conventionally emotion language,and with a bare minimum of adjectives andadverbs.D. Hemingway develops the style ofcolloquialism initiated by Mark Twain.◆William Faulkner(A Rose for Emily//The Sound and theFury//Light in August//Go Down, Moses)1. What does Yoknapatwapha Countrystand for in Faulkner's novels?A. In William Faulkner's writings, the placeYoknapatawpha Country is frequently set asthe background for the stories. This place isactually an imaginary place based onFaulkner's childhood memory about theplace where he grew up, the town ofOxford in his native Lafayette Country inthe American South.B. With his rich imagination, Faulknerturned the land, the people and the historyof the region into a literary creation and amythical kingdom. The YoknapatawphaCountry series have an overall pattern inwhich the fate of a ruined homeland alwaysfocuses on the collision of Faulkner'sintelligent, sensitive, an idealisticprotagonist with the society of the twentiethcentury. Most of the major themes aredirectly related to this confrontation inFaulkner's novels.2. Give a brief analysis of EmilyGrierson, the protagonist of A Rose forEmily by Faulkner.Set in the town of Jefferson inYoknapatawpa, the story focuses on EmilyGrierson, an eccentric spinster who refusesto accept the passage of time, or theinevitable charge and loss that accompaniedit. As a descendent of the Southernaristocracy, Emily is typical of those inFaulkner's. Yoknapatwapha stories who arethe symbols of the Old South but theprisoners of the past.1.For all/that struck the earth,/No matter if not bruised or spiked with stubble,/Went surely to the cider-apple heap/As of no worth. /One can see what will trouble/ this sliip of mine,whatever sleep it is./were he not gone, /the woodchuck could say whether it’s like his/Long sleep,as I describe its coming on./or just some human sleep.答:Robert Lee Frost. After Apple Picking.Briefly interpret: This poem is a vivid memory of the poet’s working experience on the farm. The poet feels satisfied and tired as well. In this part the poet hints that he will never forget the scene of harvest even in his human sleep, which indicates death.2.Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,/And sorry I could not travel both.答:Robert Lee Frost. “Diverged”means seperated and went on different directions. Two lines imply one has to make choice especially in the course of one’s life.3.There was music from my neighbor's house through the summer nights. In his blue gardens men and girls came and went like moths among the whisperings and the champagne and the stars. At high tide in the afternoon I watched his guests diving from the tower of his raft, or taking the sun on the hot sand of his beach while his two motor−boats slit the waters of the Sound, drawing aquaplanes over cataracts of foam. On week−ends his Rolls−Royce became an omnibus, bearing parties to and from the city between nine in the morning and long past midnight, while his station wagon scampered like a brisk yellow bug to meet all trains. And on Mondays eight servants, including an extra gardener, toiled all day with mops and scrubbing−brushes and hammers and garden−shears, repairing the ravages of the night before.答:F.Scott Fitzgerald The Great Gatsby. This passage describes Gatsby’s extravagance. “moths”are used metaphorically to refer to those people who are drawn to the party simply for its glamour,for the wealth of Gatsby.4.He smiled understandingly—much more than understandingly. It was one of those rare smiles with a quality of eternal reassurance in it, which you may come across four or five times in life. It faced—or seemed to face—the whole external world for an instant, and then concentrated on you with an irresistible prejudice in your favor.答:F.Scott Fitzgerald The Great Gatsby,He is Gatsby, A luxurious party is being held in Gatsby’s house.5.“I glanced back once .A wafer of a moon was shining over Gatsby’s house, making the night fine as before, and surviving the laughter and the sound of his still glowing garden. A sudden emptiness seemed to flow now from the windows and the great doors, endowing with complete isolation the figure of the host, who stood on the porch, his hand up in a formal gesture of farewell.答:F.Scott Fitzgerald The Great Gatsby. The passage describes the end of a big party. The passage hints at the meaninglessness, spiritual emptiness and vanity of such a pleasure-seeking life.There is a tragic sense.6.Is dying hard, Daddy? No, I think it’s pretty easy, Nick. It all depends.答:Ernest Hemingway,Indian Camp. (2)What was Nick preoccupied with when he asked the question? Life and death. (3)why did the father add “it all depends”after he answered his son’s question? When the father says that dying is pretty easy, he might be thinking about the self-murdered husband. But when he reflects on the wife’s miracle survival of the violent pain in the whole process of birth, he adds the final sentence. Dying is both hard and easy, it all depends on individuals.7.When Miss Emily Grierson died, our whole town went to her funeral: the men through a sort of respectful affection for a fallen monument, the women mostly out of curiosity to see the inside of her house, which no one save an old man-servant-a combined gardener and cook-had seen in at least ten years.答:A Rose for Emily by William Faulkner.(2) Why is Miss Emily Grierson’s death regarded as a fallen monument?Emily is regarded as the symbol of tradition and the old way of life. Thus her death is like the falling of a monument. Emily is typical of those who are the symbols of the Old South but the prisoners of past, and she is an eccentric spinster who refuses to accept the passage of time, or the inevitable change and loss that accompanies it.8. Only Miss Emily’s house was left, lifting its stubborn and coquettish decay above the cotton wagons and the gasoline pumps-an eyesore among eyesores.答:A Rose for Emily by William Faulkner. “an eyesore among eyesores”means the most unpleasant thing to look at. The passage indicate the house is a perfect mirror image of the owner who is stubborn and coquettish and deliberately detaches herself from the communal life in this small town.。

押韵的英文小诗(文档3篇)以下是网友分享的关于押韵的英文小诗的资料3篇,希望对您有所帮助,就爱阅读感谢您的支持。
第一篇压韵(rhyme)英文诗一般都押运韵。
(一)全韵与半韵(full rhyme and half rhyme)。
全韵是严格的押韵,其要求是:(1)韵要押在重读音节上,其元音应相同;(2)元音前的辅音应不同;(3)如果元音之后有辅音,应相同。
(4)重读音节之后如有轻读音节,也应相同。
下面几对词都符合全韵的标准:why---sigh; hate---late; fight---delight; powers---flowers;today---away; ending---bending.如果仅是元音字母相同,读音不同,不符合全韵:如: blood----hood; there---here; gone---alone; daughter----laughter. 这种情形被称为―眼韵‖(eye rhyme),虽然诗人有时用之,但不是真正的押韵。
仅是辅音相同或仅是元音相同的属半韵:元音不同,其前后的辅音相同,这叫谐辅韵(consonance)如:black, block; creak, croak; reader, rider; despise, dispose. 元音相同,其后的辅音相同者叫谐元韵(assonance),如lake, fate; time, mind.(二)尾韵与行内韵(end rhyme and internal rhyme)押在诗行最后一个重读音节上,叫尾韵。
这是英文诗歌最常见的押韵部位。
诗行中间停顿处的重读音节与该行最后一个重读音节押韵者,叫行内韵。
如:Spring, the sweet spring, is the year’s pleasant king;Then blooms each thing, then maids dance in a ring,(三)男韵与女韵((masculine rhyme and feminine rhyme) 所押的韵音局限于诗行中重读的末尾音节上,称男韵,也叫单韵,听起来强劲有力。
自考《英美文学选读》(英)现代文学时期(3)-3

自考《英美文学选读》(英)现代文学时期(3)-3(2) In his later period,Eliot produced only two major volumes of poetic works:Ash Wednesday (1930) and Four Quartets (1944)。
The quest for stability,for order,and for the maintaining of the bourgeois status quo became his primary concern in his later works. The Four Quartets,based on the Christian dogmas of incarnation and resurrection,is concerned with the quest for the immortal element,the stillness within time or history. Man,disillusioned and hopeless in his early poetry,now finds reconciliation in God. Thus,the Four Quartets is characterized by a philosophical and emotional calm quite in contrast to the despair and suffering of the early works. The stream-of-consciousness technique has been largely employed in Eliot’s poems.2.T. S. Eliot’s major achievement in drama writing:He was one of the important verse dramatists in the first half of the 20th century. Besides some fragmentary pieces,Eliot had written in his lifetime five full-length plays:Murder in the Cathedral (1935),The Family Reunion (1939),The Cocktail Party (1950),The Confidential Clerk (1954),and The-Elder Statesman (1959)。

DEFINITION OF POETRY
The most common is the genological level,(genre) at which critics define poetry as a genre of literature, the collective body of compositions termed as poems. At this level, poetry parallels fiction and drama, forming with them the greatest three of the conventional literary categories which divide the pages of popular literary textbooks, such as An Approach to Literature (Fifth Edition, 1975) by C. Brooks, J. T. Purser, and R. P. Warren.

Another is the popular typographical level. As poetry is defined all that is printed in the line form on the page, people, including many critics of course, take their cue from the appearance in deciding what is poetry and what is not; and thus, accordingly, they will fail or refuse to recognize the passage below as poetry. How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height my soul can reach, when feeling out of sight for the ends of Being and ideal Grace. ……and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death.

第一讲英美诗歌的韵步第一节韵步的定义与种类韵步(foot,也被称为音步),是由音节(syllable)组成的,因此,首先要了解什么是音节。
音节由音素(phone)构成,它是语音中最小的不可再分解的单位,是字母组合后的读音标记。
音素靠听觉辨认,字母靠视觉辨认,音素属于读音系统,字母属于拼写系统。
例如,scansion [′skæn∫зn]由8个字母拼写而成,只有7个音素。
英语音素分为元音(vowel)和辅音(consonant),共有48个。
音节是英语的发音单位,由一个元音或者由一个元音同一个或若干个辅音构成。
音节可分为单音节、双音节、多音节三类。
单音节:you,day,me,big,make,bar等。
双音节:begin,open,foolish,summer,mountain等。
多音节:wonderful,revolution,satisfactory等。
辅音也可构成音节,如people,rhythm中的ple和thm都属于一个音节。
每个英语单词都有一个重读音节,其重读音节是固定的。
如husband,共两个音节,第一个音节重读;express有两个音节,第二个音节重读;beautiful有三个音节,第一个音节重读;religion有三个音节,第二个音节重读;subterranean有四个音节,第三个音节重读。
在短语或句子中,冠词和介词一般不重读。
如在in the morning,on a desk中,in、the、on、a都不重读。
弄清楚什么是音节,就可以理解什么是韵步了。
韵步是一个或两个重读音节和一个或两个非重读音节的排列组合。
其类型如下:韵步类型表第二节韵步类型举例一、抑扬格抑扬格是一个非重读音节和一个重读音节的排列组合。
英语诗歌以抑扬格韵步为主,如莎士比亚十四行诗《我可以把你比作夏天吗?》最后两行的韵步划分如下(每个韵步由竖杠“|”隔开,“_”代表非重读音节,“/”代表重读音节):_ /. _ / _ / _ / _ /So long |as men |can breathe |or eyes |can see,_ / _ / _ / _ / _ /So long |lives this |and this |gives life |to thee. 1(William Shakespeare: Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer’ Day)每个韵步都是两个音节,且每个韵步都是一个非重读音节加一个重读音节构成。

英美诗歌选读第三讲[大] [中] [小]英美诗歌的押韵押韵(rhyme)是指一个音节的读音在以后音节读音中的重复,或是一个单词的最后一个音节或几个音节的读音在以后音节相应位置的读音重复。
从押韵的位置看,押韵主要有头韵(alliteration)、尾韵(end rhyme)和中间韵或腹韵(internal rhyme)。
尾韵又分全韵(perfect rhyme)和非全韵(imperfect rhyme)两种。
全韵要求押韵的辅音和元音都相同,非全韵又包括只是元音相同但辅音不押韵的元韵(assonance)和只押辅音不押元音的和韵(consonance),另外,还有从拼写上看起来似乎押韵但实际读音并不押韵的目韵(eye rhyme,visual rhyme or sight rhyme)等。
第一节头韵头韵是指一行(节)诗中几个词开头的辅音相同,形成押韵。
如克里斯蒂娜•罗塞蒂的《歌》前两诗节:When I am dead,my dearest,Sing no sad songs for me;Plant thou no rose at my head,Nor shady cypress tree:Be the green grass above meWith showers and dewdrops wet;And if thou wilt,remember,And if thou wilt,forget. [1](Christina Rossetti:Song)第一行的dead / dearest,第二行的sing / sad / songs,第五行的green / grass,第六行的with / wet押头韵。
又如柯尔律治的《古舟子咏》第103~第106行:The fair breeze blew,the white foam flew,The furrow followed free,We were the first that ever burstInto that silent sea. [2](Samuel Taylor Coleridge:The Rime of the Ancient Mariner)前三行里,头韵[f]重复七次。
这个摩擦送气的清辅音模仿柔风轻涛的声音,创造出一种宁静的意境。
第四行里的两个[s]音宛如和风吹过沉寂海面而发出的咝咝声。
头韵在这里的使用,令读者有身临其境之感。
另外,中间韵blew / flew,first / burst,furrow / followed,尾韵free / sea形成悦耳动听的韵味和节奏感。
再如莎士比亚编号为71的十四行诗前八行:No longer mourn for me when I am deadThan you shall hear the surly sullen bellGive warning to the world that I am fledFrom this vile world with vilest worms to dwell.Nay,if you read this line,remember notThe hand that writ it;for I love you soThat I in your sweet thoughts would be forgotIf thinking on me would make you woe. [3]每行都有不同的头韵。
第一行为mourn / me,第二行为surly / sullen,第三行为warning / world,第四行为world / worm,第五行为read / remember,第八行为me / make和would / woe。
第二行、第三行和第五行为than / that / this,第七行和第八行为thoughts / thinking。
这样的不同首字母交替出现在一个诗节中,可以称为交叉头韵。
诗人在使用头韵时,还使用一种声音的重复,通过这种声音的重复表达一种独特的情感。
如多恩的《歌》:When thou sigh’st,thou sigh’st not windBut sigh’st my soul away;When thou weep’st,unkindly kind,My life’s blood doth decay.It cannot be,That thou lov’st me,as thou say’st,If in thine my life thou waste,Thou art the best of me. [4](John Donne:Song)此诗节使用的头韵有when / wind / weep / waste,sigh / soul / say,doth / decay,blood / be / best,thou / then / that等。
另外,在sigh、kindly、thine、my和life中有频繁的元音字母i,此音暗示悲伤和抑郁,加上它是一个长元音,自然就减缓了诗行自然的快节奏运动,哀伤和抑郁之情得到了充分的表现。
同样的诗歌技巧也体现在爱伦•坡的《乌鸦》之中,如该诗的最后一节:And the Raven,never flitting,still is sitting,still is sittingOn the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon that is dreaming,And the lamp-light o’er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floorShall be lifted –nevermore此诗节中除了各行的头韵(still / sitting,pallid / Pallas,his / have,lamp / light,from / floating / floor),还有内韵(flitting / sitting,seeming / dreaming等),贯穿整个诗节的短元音[i]、[æ],长元音[i:]、[o:]和双元音[?u]生动地传达出了主人公的痛苦和绝望。
第二节尾韵尾韵(end rhyme)指行尾押韵单词最后的重读元音及其后面的辅音在读音上相同,而元音前面的辅音则不能相同。
也就是说,元音以及元音后面的辅音押韵,而元音前面的辅音则不押韵。
这种韵又被称为全韵(perfect rhyme)。
根据音节的数量,可分为单音节尾韵(single rhyme)、双音节尾韵(double rhyme)和三重音节尾韵(triple rhyme)。
单音节尾韵又称男韵或阳韵(masculine rhyme),是在诗行结尾重读音节之间出现的最普遍的押韵。
如米勒《在太平洋之滨》第二诗节:Above yon gleaming skies of goldOne lone imperial peak is seen;While gathered at his feet in greenTen thousand foresters are told.And all so still!So still the airThat duty drops the web of care. [6](Joaquin Miller:By the Pacific Ocean)第一、四行押韵,第二、三行押韵,第五、六行押韵,都是重读单音节。
虽然是单音节押韵,但它只要求一个音节押韵,而不要求押韵的一个音节是一个单音节单词。
例如叶芝《走过柳园》第一节:Down by the sally gardens my love and I did meet;She pass’d the sally gardens with little snow-white feet.She bid me take love easy,as the leaves grow on the tree;But I,being young and foolish,with her would not agree. [7](W. B. Yeats:Down by the Sally Gardens)这里第四行的agree就是一个双音节单词,它只在第二个音节上与前行的tree押韵,而且它是重读音节。
双音节韵又称女韵或阴韵(feminine rhyme),其基本特征是行尾单词最后两个音节押韵,其中倒数第二个音节是重读音节,而最后一个音节是非重读音节。
由于其读音是重读加非重读结构,因此它又称扬抑格韵(trochaic rhyme)。
如华兹华斯的《写于三月》前四行:The cock is crowing,The stream is flowing,The small birds twitter,The lake doth glitter. [8](William Wordsworth:Written in March at Brother’s Water)行尾的crowing / flowing,twitter / glitter相互押韵。
两组押韵都是由双音节单词组成,每个单词的第一个音节为重读音节,第二个音节为非重读音节。
又如丁尼生《女郎夏洛特》第一部分的第二诗节:Willows whiten,aspens quiver,Little breezes dusk and shiverThrough the wave that runs foreverBy the island in the riverFlowing down to Camelot.Four grey walls,and four grey towers,Overlook a space of flowers,And the silent isle imbowersThe Lady of Shalott. [9](Alfred Tennyson:The Lady of Shalott,Part I)行尾的quiver / shiver / river,towers / flowers / imbowers相互押韵,除了imbowers,其余单词都是双音节单词,都是第一个音节为重读,第二个音节为非重读。
